Rusty doors bottoms….
Do you ever notice that the bottoms of doors seem to rust before anything else? I’ve noticed a few late model vehicles lately with rust on the bottom of their doors so thought I would share some info. on how to help prevent this. For starters, make sure when you clean your vehicle you clean the door jams, edges of doors, and be sure you dry them well. Dirt plays a factor in rust because it allows moisture and contaminants to sit on the paint eating away at it. The other thing to do is locate the small holes at the bottom of your doors. Open the doors and lay on the ground then look at the door bottoms. You should see a few holes. The manufacturers put these holes in the doors so any water that gets into the door, which a lot does from around where the window meets the door molding, can drain out the bottom. Often times these holes get clogged with dirt, leaves, grease, and anything else you can think of. If your holes looked clogged, unclog them. Doing this a couple times a year will help keep your doors rust free!
